The Christmas issues of the magazines he edited, Household Words and (after 1859) All the Year Round, regularly included ghost stories 4 not just A Christmas Carol but also works like The Chimes and The Haunted Man, both of which also feature an unhappy man who changes his ways after visitation by a ghost. Dickens9 pub- lications, which were not just winter-themed but explicitly linked to Christmas, helped forge a bond between the holiday and ghost stories; Christmas Eve, he would claim in 8The Seven Poor Travellers9 (1854), is the 8witching time for story-telling.9= <A Christmas Carol= is, of course, the most famous Christmas ghost story of them all. The tale of the miser Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Christmas Eve visitation of four spirits whose revelations change his outlook on life perme- ated Christmas culture around the globe. Concern for the treatment of the poor in a rapidly changing capitalist world, and the possibility of personal redemption are themes that have resonated over 176 years, through countless film and stage adaptations. Each interpretation of the tale emphasizes different aspects of the story. Some are pretty spooky; others more lighthearted.
